A mixing system includes a container having an encircling sidewall bounding a chamber and extending between an upper end and an opposing lower end; a support plate disposed within the chamber and secured to the encircling sidewall; an inner wall secured to the support plate and projecting within the chamber toward the upper end, an open space being formed between the inner wall and the encircling sidewall; and a first aperture extending through the encircling sidewall so as to communicate with the open space. A mixing assembly is positioned within the container and is supported on the support plate, the mixing assembly including a pliable enclosure and a mixing device.

A hydrolysis apparatus for organic waste using a hydraulic crushing effect includes: a housing having an open top surface and an inner lodging space; a reaction tank being lodged in the inner lodging space of the housing and having an open top surface and an inner space for accommodating a defined liquid chemical; a heating section connected to a bottom surface of the reaction tank and integrated into the reaction tank; and a driving means for moving the housing to put the housing in a linear reciprocating motion. The present invention has an effect to greatly reduce the physical crushing time and the dissolution time using a liquid chemical in the hydrolysis of animal carcass and other organic wastes, such as food waste, sewage/waste water sludge, animal/plant residue, and so forth, thereby increasing the work efficiency and reducing the cost.

An apparatus for mixing comprising a vessel 302 for holding a product comprising a liquid base and an ingredient, a rotor 304 for providing a first flow 306 of said product inside said vessel and a double agitator for providing a second flow 312 of said product inside said vessel. The double agitator comprises a first agitator 308 arranged to rotate in an outer section of said vessel, and a second agitator 310 arranged to rotate in an inner section of said vessel.

Provided is an oxidation reactor capable of oxidizing hydrocarbons with both reaction efficiency and energy efficiency. The oxidation reactor according to the present invention includes a liquid inlet channel, a gas inlet channel, a gas-liquid mixing unit, and a flow reactor. Through the liquid inlet channel, a liquid containing a reaction substrate hydrocarbon is introduced. Through the gas inlet channel, a gas containing oxygen and ozone is introduced. The gas-liquid mixing unit mixes the liquid introduced from the liquid inlet channel with the gas introduced from the gas inlet channel. In the flow reactor, an oxidation catalyst is immobilized or packed. The gas-liquid mixing unit houses, in its channel, a mobile particle which is capable of rotating and/or moving to mix the liquid with the gas to thereby form a gas-liquid slug flow. The gas-liquid slug flow is introduced into the flow reactor.

A system for producing a wellbore fluid including a process fluid source, a rotating apparatus, and a motor directly coupled to the rotating apparatus. The motor is configured to receive a coolant and transfer heat from the motor to the coolant. The rotating apparatus is configured to receive process fluid from the process fluid source and mix the process fluid received from the process fluid source with one or more additives to produce a wellbore fluid. The coolant transfers heat to the process fluid, the wellbore fluid or both.

A mixing bag for use in bioprocessing in which a fluid is received and agitated using an internal fluid-agitating element driven by an external motive device is disclosed. The bag may include an integral sparger and sensor receiver. Related methods are also disclosed.

Methods and apparatus are disclosed for: 1) the gentle, controlled mixing of solid and liquid botanical components during fermentation; and 2) the regulation of parameters in cap material and juice during primary fermentation to optimize attributes such as expressive organoleptic characteristics including bouquet, texture and flavor, while simultaneously and selectively monitoring and mitigating the deleterious effects of reduced sulfur compounds, harmful bacteria, multicellular fungi, and/or biogenic amines during the artisan creation of ultra-premium fine wines and other alcoholic libations according to a customized schedule.

An apparatus and method for mixing and dispensing bone cement is provided. The apparatus includes a mixing vessel for mixing bone cement attached to a syringe body. The syringe body having a lumen that is connected to the mixing vessel by a passageway between the mixing vessel and the lumen of the syringe body. A separator is provided between the mixing vessel and the syringe body and includes an orifice therein so that when the opening in the separator is misaligned with the lumen the passageway is blocked and when aligned the passageway is continuous with the lumen so that bone cement can pass into the syringe body. A plunger is provided and is slideably movable along the longitudinal axis of the syringe body so as to advance the bone cement out of the distal end of the syringe.

The invention encompasses kits and rapid methods for real-time multiplex detection and identification of one or more pathogens using glass well plates that include chemically modified surfaces to capture the presence of one or more pathogens from a small sample and magnetic microbeads with modified surfaces for capturing of pathogens within a volume of sample and collecting with an external magnet.

A mixing system typically for use in a container for mixing its contents, the mixing system including a cap unit, an extension unit and a magnetic mixing unit that is attached to the cap unit by the extension unit. The magnetic mixing unit can be folded to permit insertion and/or removal of the system via a mouth of the container. The extension unit and magnetic mixing unit connect via a hinge formed by upper and lower hinge portions that meet at a pivot point. The hinge portions extend from the pivot point along a first axis. The magnetic mixing unit includes a first magnetic elongate member that extends from the lower hinge portion along a second axis that is substantially perpendicular to the first axis, and a second magnetic elongate member that extends from the lower hinge portion along the second axis in the opposite direction relative to the first elongate member. The magnetic member(s) may be provided by a plastic coated magnetic stir bar.
